Sleeping for many hours
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Bulgaria, 'дълъг сън' is often associated with the weekend 'почивка' (rest). It's socially acceptable to stay in bed late on Sundays. Across the Balkans, there is a shared appreciation for 'merak' or 'aylyak'—taking time for oneself, which includes not rushing out of bed. Similar to Bulgaria, Mediterranean cultures value the 'siesta' or 'следобеден сън', which can sometimes turn into a 'дълъг сън' during the heat of the day. In contrast to traditional Bulgarian values, modern corporate culture often views 'дълъг сън' as a luxury or a sign of lack of ambition, though this is changing with the 'wellness' movement.
